It keeps me going through winter. I really enjoy lavender but a little goes a long way. Good luck with your recipes. I can’t imagine summer without my garden. It keeps me going through winter.

Believe me. Especially when chocolate is involved. Thanks for the link to your hard-earned knowledge about garlic. Much appreciated! Dana, I can be a real hog at times. Believe me.

I'm afraid to even think about spring yet. It's just too early and I am just so impatient. My William Dam Seed catalogue arrived and I stashed it away until later in the month.

We should have a bumper crop. They will keep the aphids away from the roses and supply me with garlic! I don't think garlic will grow in pots since you need to plant them in the fall and have them winter over. But don't worry, I've got a good start to the garlic crop.

I have killed so many maidenhead ferns I've lost count. I think of basil as seasonal and rely on the supermarket during the winter. I can't wait for the lemon verbena. It makes such great tea. I'm already plotting an ice cream around it. Great to know it does well indoors! Monique, your comment made me laugh. I have killed so many maidenhead ferns I’ve lost count.

I tend to underestimate the amount of time a garden takes - but the harvest is worth it! I also enjoy the communal aspect of the family garden. We end up sharing meals as well as the bounty. Can't go wrong there! You’re smart to start with “garden lite” since there’s always a learning curve. I tend to underestimate the amount of time a garden takes – but the harvest is worth it!

Did we put garlic on that list? If not we should. Can you do garlic in pots? Happy researching. Love, Robin Hey, even I – the non-gardening sister am excited about fresh food!

I bought an established Pesto Perpetuo Basil plant last summer at the market..they assured me it was the best basil to keep indoors after the summer..Well..my maidenhead fern is easier..and everyone knows how hard a maidenhead is to keep indoors.It's a beautiful plant..it said take me home..and we did.. Think of it as seasonal.. I love growing herbs at home..
